IT FOR EVERY TYPE OF HOUSTON HEALTHCARE PRACTICE
Not all healthcare IT is the same. A plastic surgery practice has different workflows, different software, and different compliance exposures than a dermatology office or a medspa. We serve all of them — and we configure IT specifically for how each practice type operates, not a generic healthcare template.
We've been serving Houston's medical community since 2007 — from single-provider practices to multi-location specialty groups. Our team understands EHR systems, imaging workstations, HIPAA technical safeguards, and the day-to-day IT friction points that slow clinical staff down.
Healthcare has been the most targeted industry for data breaches for 13 consecutive years. Patient records sell for up to $1,000 each on the dark web — compared to a few dollars for a credit card number. Small practices are specifically targeted because attackers assume they have real data and weak security. The practices that survive an attack are the ones that had proactive protection in place before it happened.
Practice Management & EHR Software We Support
First-level support — your staff calls us, not the vendor hold queue
MANAGED IT FOR HEALTHCARE PRACTICES
Everything your practice needs — HIPAA-compliant, proactively managed, and supported by a team that knows healthcare IT.
We implement and document all HIPAA technical safeguards — access controls, encryption, audit logging, automatic logoff, and breach response procedures. We conduct your Security Risk Analysis and maintain the documentation your compliance audits and cyber insurance underwriters require.
We provide first-level support for the practice management and EHR platforms your team uses every day — so your staff has one number to call instead of bouncing between vendors. We support the underlying IT infrastructure and troubleshoot software issues directly, and act as the liaison to the software vendor when escalation is needed. Platforms we work with include Nextech, PatientNow, ModMed (gGastro / EMA), Weave, and others used by dermatology, plastic surgery, aesthetics, and multi-specialty practices.
24/7 SOC-backed endpoint detection and response, zero trust access controls, MFA on every account, and phishing simulation training for clinical and administrative staff. Built specifically for the threat profile of small healthcare practices — not scaled-down enterprise security that misses the attacks that actually target your size.
Enterprise-grade email filtering blocks phishing, BEC attacks, and malicious attachments before they reach your staff. Automatic outbound email encryption ensures any message containing PHI is encrypted in transit — HIPAA-required for practices communicating with patients via email.
Encrypted, offsite backup of all ePHI — servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365. Backup is ransomware-resistant so an attack can't encrypt your recovery copies. Tested restore procedures and documented recovery time objectives so you know exactly what happens if something goes wrong.
Responsive help desk for your clinical and administrative staff — people who understand that a frozen workstation at the front desk means backed-up patients and a stressful day for everyone. Remote fixes in minutes. On-site when needed. No offshore call centers, no ticket queue that ignores you for days.
WHAT HIPAA ACTUALLY REQUIRES FROM YOUR IT SYSTEMS
Most practices know HIPAA requires them to protect patient data. Fewer understand what specific technical controls the Security Rule actually mandates. Here's what we implement and document for every healthcare client.
WHAT OUR HEALTHCARE CLIENTS SAY
Real Houston practices. Real results. We've been the IT partner for the Houston medical community since 2007.
"We've been with Scorpion since 2007. They're not just a vendor — they're part of how we run our practice."
"We were fortunate to learn about Jonathan in 2007 and his staff at Scorpion Technology and ultimately signed a contract with his group. They took over responsibility for all technology related matters — from simple things like networking printers to transitioning us to a cloud based electronic medical records system. Jonathan was involved in all of our capital budget meetings that involved technology or telecom. He was on hand throughout the transition ensuring that during what could easily have been a disruptive conversion, we were open for business, scheduling patients, collecting payments. It's like having an in-house technology department at a fraction of the cost."
"Jonathan and his group were, and still are, always quick to respond. It's like having an in-house technology department at a fraction of the cost."
